2025 Fischer Ranger 102 Skis with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings

The 2025 Fischer Ranger 102 is a versatile freeride all-mountain ski that excels both in carving and floating. Its playful yet dependable flex pattern, coupled with a freeride rocker profile, makes it a valuable asset on any part of the mountain. While it leans slightly more towards freeride applications, it never falters when carving down groomed trails, offering a well-rounded performance across various terrains.

Why we like it:

The standout feature of the Ranger 102 is its versatility. It performs exceptionally well in a wide range of snow conditions and terrains. With its balanced mix of performance characteristics, this ski is ideal for those who need a single ski that can handle diverse conditions without focusing solely on on-trail carving. As one of the top choices for tree skiing, the Ranger 102 is agile and quick to pivot, yet still supportive when tackling challenging terrain.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert freeride all-mountain skiers who require a dependable ski that performs reliably in any situation and terrain will find the Ranger 102 to be an excellent choice.

Highlights:

The Ranger 102 features a robust flex pattern for stability and composure, thanks to its beech and poplar wood core. It is designed to be sturdy without being overly stiff, allowing for playful skiing styles. Shaped Ti 0.5 laminates underfoot provide binding retention and vibration damping, resulting in a smooth and confidence-inspiring ride. The Flex Cut removes material from the Ti laminate in the mid-section, creating a more even flex pattern that enhances intuitiveness and predictability. Sandwich Sidewall Construction reinforces the ski's overall stiffness with a full sidewall, maximizing edge power. The Freeski Rocker profile ensures quick turning and a surfy feel in deep snow.

Things to consider:

The Ranger 102's softer flex in the tips and tails may offer less support to heavier skiers compared to lighter ones. Additionally, while it performs well on trail, there are other skis in this category that excel specifically in carving.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
